Planet Mu

[a2050797] started this project in 2018 as an outlet for his unique take on Grime. Reducing the sound to its steely fundamentals, bringing in influences from Grime, Techno and Dancehall to gird the voices of the MCs he works with, creating a sound that he came to refer to as Hi Tek Grime, as well as inventing the 8 Bar Techno sub-genre. He has also started the [l1500563] record label to release his East Man productions, as well as collaborations with other musicians exploring similar musical areas. The project has now ended as of 2021.

Planet Mu is an independent music label that was founded in 1995 by Mike Paradinas. Originally starting as an imprint on Virgin, the label was created to release music from artists like µ-Ziq and others who shared a similar style. However, due to Virgin's lack of success in marketing this type of music, Mike Paradinas decided to establish Planet Mu as an independent label in 1998. It is at this point that the catalog numbers for releases under the name *ZIQ* began.

Prole Art Threat is producer Anthoney Hart's second LP for Planet Mu under his East Man alias, after 2018's well received debut Red White and Zero. It brings together a set of MCs from all over London, Darkos and Eklipse from East London and Lyrical Strally from near Feltham who were on the first album, Ny Ny and Mic Ty also from East London, Streema and 'Vision Crew' member Whack Eye from Lewisham plus Fernando Kep, an MC from the burgeoning Brazil grime scene. They work across a cohesive set of tight riddims forged from thoughtful amalgams of grime, dancehall and drum and bass. The album takes its name from a Fall song/mission statement of the same title, the band being self-consciously working class and led by a brilliant autodidact in Mark E Smith.
